The Turkish striker, who is on a short term deal at Ewood Park, is keen to show what he can do after moving to Blackburn until the end of the season.

"There is no problem with the injury. I am only short of training and match fitness," Sukur told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"I will soon be ready and I'll show the real Hakan Sukur to those who thought that Hakan Sukur was finished."

Rover's boss Graeme Souness believes Sukur will be ready in two or three weeks: "He's coming along very nicely and we are happy with the progress he is making, " he said.

"He's training with the rest of the players in the morning and he's also staying behind in the afternoon."
